caprifan Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I think some people may be missing the point a little.. Coming from someone that actualy owns a Anglebox i think they look sweet and the washer bottle and oil catch a definate big thumbs up. Nice suttle tucked away using wasted space. Nice to see something made just for us. We dont have the endless suplply of parts like you escort boys, 105speed and Milton are realy the only people making things dedicated to a 105e. Afer all its not halfords tat nailed to the inner wing by someone called barry. There thats my 10 pence!! Well done neil ...and I think you guys are lucky....you can't find jack shit for a Capri let alone anything worthwhile

V8ian Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Neil, Suppose you could offer ally items in clear or black anodised finish, them you can keep both camps happy, My opinion, old skool is clean, plain and simple, This dosent mean Cheap and Nasty, This may be the engineer coming out, If I was building a Cossy powered car, I would probably still use all the ally bits that are needed, but strip them and have them anodised black, and black silicon hosed rather then the blue and reds that are common today, if you want a bling car, get a Cosworth or RST, thats the right car for the bits. Ian
RedexRob Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I come from a strictly original equipment background but I have to say that stuff looks classy , better than a lot of the cheap looking tat that ends up on some cars and hey if you can,t get good quality original items then its a hell of a lot better than putting ropey old tank feeds etc back on....The man from Del Monte he say....
sambo Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 All that shiny gear is a big turn off for me on an OSF. I cant stand it to be honest, cos it just misses the point in my opinion. Just aluminium is very sexy but polished stuff that gleams in your face when you look under a bonnet is poo! Spray it all satin black and drive the thing instead!
PIG Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 think the anglbox bits look the nuts imo,ive got a bit in my engine bay but had over bits powder coated/painted black.each to there own i think.people would by it tho i think
105Speed Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Posted October 10, 2006 Guys Thanks for your honesty and your opinions... its is invaluable when developing stuff to find out what people like and more importantly what they dont like. It is appreciated So my Neon Diff lights are out then
Posse Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 Neon Diff lights are out then no neil you keep them
105Speed Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Posted October 11, 2006 But Posse they are soo much neater than the old fog lights to go with the new 105Speed Jack Up Kits, a remake of that 70's classic... You know you want it..... I'll do YOU a special deal
Posse Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 lol ive got nothing to stick them on lol ill let you model them on your anglia
105Speed Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 waste of time and money, and i would feel really really embarrased to open the bonnet in front of normal people As promised... the full install
Posse Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 very nice neil so is this all the parts that you are going to be selling
Burns Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 yeah, must say neil, looks pretty under your bonnet. might be hassling you for some in a year or so if i can scrape the cash together
105Speed Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 very nice neil so is this all the parts that you are going to be selling Not sure yet Posse... will see what sort of feed back I get from people at the Old Skool Night at the Ace. Will probably be the 'stealth' tanks that go in the heater holes as people seem to love them, just got to run it round on my motor for a while and see what happens when I have to empty the oil breather, there is a drain plug on the bottom but its still going to need a little ice cream tray to catch the drips. The bottle bracket was a one off Dave Colledge made for me while he was doing the install and again if people like it and the feedback is good then I'll get a run done. The header tank needs some modding before it become a product, I need the main feed hose out let to be moved to the side nearest the wing, this will make the hose runs neater and the sight glass needs to be on the side really as that makes it easier to check the levels etc. The feed back so far has been very useful and I'm very grateful. This should ensure we develop products that do exactly what people want.
caprifan Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 ...I have to say that that install looks superb...not over the top bling that you see in RST etc etc but it is all there for a purpose and with intelligent design ........I wish you ran CCI for us poor suffering Capri owners...
100ejohn Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 I think its ok if its kept down to a min, unless its a show car of some sort then it desrves it maybe.
Bristol Red Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Reckon it looks tops mate Just done tasefully enough not to look over the top IMHO
pelvins Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 looking top notch neil, ultra very tidy install you the man !!
105Speed Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Posted January 8, 2007 do we know what is fro sale out of this lot yet then as i cant find the 'bling' your site ?? Sorry mate... just been getting the car out there and waiting for the feed back. If there is anything you fancy let me know. Cheers Neil
105Speed Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Posted January 8, 2007 looking top notch neil, ultra very tidy install you the man !! Thanks guys... I wish I could take all the credit but it was Dave and Wayne at Retro Ford who did the install.... I helped, with passing spanners, sweeping up spillages, cleaning the underside of the car, making sure the place didnt burn down when the tunnel got welded it, making tea, cleaning all the underside of the car Although I can claim credit for the Ally tanks... they were my idea... oh and I wired in the ECU and all the other bits too....
